Clever English to mirror an emphasis in the Greek.<br /><br />John, What a nice comment! Thank you for seeing our agreement -- yours with Suzanne and with me, on the bible and its translation. It was a year ago this time when we emphasized how profoundly we disagreed, and so yes a Merry Christmas in contrast now.J. K.

I favor the latter (as you'll see in my BBB post). The TR leaves the adjective out altogether I think which is something worth pondering.David Kerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13140007604009678479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931921496989071942.post-45980580650081156252009-12-14T18:38:43.244-06:002009-12-14T18:38:43.244-06:00Let me clarify - I mean that my take on your note ...Let me clarify - I mean that my take on your note of Luke's favorite wording is based on my personal theological and canonical basis.

If Jesus had said it (and not angels or Luke), then we could see how the Jesus Seminar might color code the words.<br /><br />Gary, Your attention to the genitive and the gender of Greek words is most important. One thing at a time is all I can do. I'm learning as well!<br /><br />Jay, Thanks!J. K.

I get so side-tracked by the question of what sort of genitive eudokias is (and the gender issue of anthropois) that I never noticed the wordplay or even the rhyme.<br /><br />Wow, I still have so much to learn!Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01350640852962668641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3931921496989071942.post-3839204308665673292009-12-12T17:23:33.845-06:002009-12-12T17:23:33.845-06:00As always most interesting.
